A STORY OF LOVE.
Uncle Limrick Wants Wife, and
Views IL in a Business Light.

From the MontesWn,d (1d.) Recorder.
On Friday last Ordinary p. T. McGrif
received a call from Uncle Limrick
Rawls, a sable widower Of a months
bereavement. Uncle Limrick owns a
small farm near Hawkinsvlle, and Tor
four or five weeks he had experienced a
desolatIon OF heart and hearthsto that
can be appreciated only by those who
have telt similar affection. A month
ago death took from Uncle Limrict the
good old woman who had been his COM
Danion for over fifty years-thrOugh the
long and tedious days OF slavery and the
happy twenty -one years of freedom.
IL is the presumption that young peo-
pie marry for love, but when they grow
old they regard marriage in a business
light. Some marry for home and some
marry for companonship.
Uncle Limrick, having out-lived life's
young dream, concluded that widOwhOod
Is sad and miserable life which is true),
and that he could only be happy the re-
mainder OF mis- life by taking another
wife. He took quite a business view OF
the future, as will be seen in the ending
OF this romance.
On Friday last Limrick called on Judge
McGrif and asked for a marriage license.
L DO q uuSo was HIlluS Out me Diduk, anu
asked Limrick to give the name Of the
lady.
SIS yer obleeged to' know her name
Mars Paddy?"
"Oh, yes, Limriok. The law requires
it,"
"Well, Mars Paddy, dunno which one
'zactly to take. | had a'dressin' OF lady
about three weeks, am l axed her last
Saturday night to be my wife and she
promised TO give me answer but she did
not, am dis mornin' an other lady sent me
word dat she would have me. So thought
that would marry the last one, but since
has come TO town understands dat dey
say has kicked the first one and she is
maxim slch a TODD about it dat dunno
what Ter do. 1t don't make much differ
ence wild me which one l take-dey am
both nice ladies, an both Of dem has boys
big enough to pillow, an want to start
my plows."
Judge McGriff filled the blank with the
name of the last lady, but told Limrick be
could go and marry, and il he decided to
take tue other lady the license could be
changed.
Uncle Limrick paid the Ordinary 81 90
and disappeared with the license, and
was married Friday night 10 'Riah
Hunter, widow of the late Eli Hunter.
Thus ends romantic story of love and
business. The fact that Uncle Limr OK
was remarked within month alter his
wite's death does not prove that he had
forgotten her, as is often alleged when
widowers remarry. 1t is evidence that a
man remembers his former wife's love and
cOmpanlonship and help.

PLAYERS of Wind Instruments.

The manner in which players of wind in
struments keep their lip muscles hardened
often excitcs curiosity. This is only attained
by constant practice, and the more perfectly
a performer plays the more practice is needed
to keep him up to the mark
Many performers on wind instruments, and
especially cornetists, frequently lose control
over the muscles of their mouths and are
affected by what is known rs the frozen lip, y
In this case the lip sometimes swells to an
enormous size, and i'll many instances the per-
former is obliged to take a temporary rest
from playing.
Too much smoking is also bad for the lips, rs
it makes them dry and feveriSh. While the
use of too much liquor would, of course, be
bad for any performer, yet when used III
moderation it sometimes has beneficial
effect upon the playing, This is especially
true when very heavy programme is rem

Everybody knows it is quite common
thing for big steamer TO go through the
'ucz canal at night. But what is, perhaps,
not so generally known, is that the steamer
itself, and not the Suez Canal company, has
to supply the requisite electric light apparatus
for the nocturnal passage What the CON
pany does is to prescribe the amount of illumi-
mating power which the apparatus must
possess. For instance, no steamer is allowed
to start on n night transit that is not fitted
with an electric protector which is capable
of throwing u light for Mt least POO meter,
ahead. And on the upper deck, too, there
must he an electric lamp and shade powerful

these statements" said Captain Clar-

Associated Press representative, who
called his attention to the dis
patches received this morning, an
nouncing volcanic eruption in sonora.
"On the contrary, it is matter of sur
prise that we have not had some
volcanoes in our own Territory

have not had more, for it is now knoI.
that Mount st. Helens in Washington

activity and sent out large quantities
of lava and ashes as late as 1843 | can
specify from memory remarkable evi
dence of recent occurrence in several
localities where violent eruptions have
taken place. One is near Fillmore, in
Utah; another at the base of
Mount Trumbnll, on the border
of Grand Canon; the third near

and another at Grant station on the
